vegetarian

A growing number of physicians and health groups are recommending a plant-based diet in lieu of drugs, sending patients home with shopping lists these days instead of drug prescriptions. The benefits, they say, are undeniable.

No need for fancy fad diets or expensive supplements to shed off those unwanted pounds and stay in shape. Just stuff your plate with more greens because, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, vegetarian diets are twice as effective in losing weight.
